Part of the union...

Oh, oh, you don't get me, I'm part of the union

You don't get me, I'm part of the union

You don't get me, I'm part of the union

Until the day I die, until the day I die

Part of the Union

The song (especially its chorus "You don't get me I'm part of the Union") quickly became popular as an unofficial anthem of the trade union movement. Subsequently, the Strawbs have confirmed that the song was written with genuine celebratory intent, in support of the unions.

in modern times - or as a theme to steampunk noir themes it is a metaphor for so much more.

this piece is as much a metaphor for todays world of political construction as a reflection on long gone good old trade unions.
